Lentils and Rice over White Fish

The good news is after a few days of being under the weather I'm feeling much better.  I had a fever over 103 starting Sunday night and it finally broke last night.  

After a sickness wanes and I'm feeling better I am so happy and energized.  It's a great reminder for me to appreciate my good health each day.

 In other good news....it's hump day! The downslide to the weekend.  I think we will be having a cookout for Father's Day at hubby's request so probably a simple grilled meal and some sides I have yet to come up with. 

What will all of you be doing for Father's Day?

Here is a really simple fish dish I came up with.  Originally I wanted to do a black beans and rice on top of tilapia; however, I didn't have a can with black beans like I thought I did.  Instead I had lentils and rice and it turned out to be really tasty and satisfying.  The beans and rice really added a nice weight to the super light and flakey fish and the cheese just rounded out the whole meal.
